Abstract: The present invention is a method and apparatus for monitoring in real time the mass and energy flow rate of a gas through a pipeline. The invention determines the mass flow ratio of a pipeline gas flowing through a pipeline compared to sample gas tapped from the pipeline line when the volumetric flow of pipeline gas through the pipeline is measured by a linear flow meter. Sample gas tapped from the pipeline is flowed to a chamber having a section with a fixed volume until the pressure in the chamber section is substantially equal to the pipeline gas pressure. The sample gas is maintained at substantially the same temperature as the gas in the pipeline while the sample gas is in the chamber section. A timer measures the time interval for the sample gas to flow from the chamber section at a selected rate for a calculated pressure drop, the selected rate being controlled by a flow controller. The mass flow ratio is computed using the measured time interval and a signal from the linear flow meter. The energy flow rate of the pipeline gas is determined by measuring the energy flow rate of the sample gas and relating that value to the mass flow ratio of the pipeline gas compared to the sample gas.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an in-the-ear hearing aid (25) a mould (23) is made of an ear canal (7) of an ear (3), which mould is used as a moulding die for the manufacture of a housing (27) of the hearing aid (25). When the mould (23) is made an auxiliary tool comprising a flexible tube (11) with a flange (13) at one end is inserted into the ear canal up to at least the proximity of a tympanic membrane (9) of the ear. Subsequently, a curable material (19) is introduced into the ear canal (7), the material pressing the flange (13) against the tympanic membrane (9), which precludes the ingress of material between the flange and the tympanic membrane. After the material (19) has cured the mould (23) with the tube (11) and the flange (13) is removed from the ear canal (7). During removal of the mould (23) the space between the tympanic membrane (9) and the mould is in communication with the outer air  via  the tube (11), so that no partial vacuum is produced, which may give rise to damage to the tympanic membrane (9). The mould (23) thus obtained is used as a moulding die for the manufacture of a custom-made in-the-ear hearing aid (25).

Abstract: The free-running frequency of a bus controlled horizontal oscillator (31) is adjusted by programming of a first data signal (DATA 2) that is coupled to a digital-to-analog converter (40). The programming causes the first data signal to be non-alterable. The programming is done during manufacturing of a wafer that includes the oscillator. A second data signal (DATA 1) that is coupled from a microprocessor (35) via a bus (BUS) and via a second digital-to-analog converter (41) to the oscillator can vary the oscillator free-running frequency to provide for tolerance compensation. The first data signal is immune against data errors. The second data signal is not immune against data errors but can vary the oscillator frequency within only a relatively narrow range of values. Consequently, data errors are prevented from causing a significant change in the oscillator free-running frequency that might have occurred had both data signals been alterable.

Abstract: A magnetooptical disk has two axially space-apart translucent recording layers (155,156). Each translucent recording layer is axially closer to an outer surface of the disk than to the other recording layer. This geometry enables closely axially disposing a magnetic field biasing means (129,48) to each of the recording layers from opposite axial sides of the disk, respectively. Laser beams are axially introduced into the disk to pass through one of the translucent recording layers in a defocussed state to reach a second recording layer in a focussed state. In this manner, recording in the second layer is effected by a modulated magnetic bias field using a constant intensity laser beam. Two sets of laser beams and magnetic biasing means can be provided for recording data in both of the recording layers.

The device of the invention is formed by a box manufactured of composite material, which is highly fire-resistant and capable of absorbing small impacts without suffering structural alterations. The inside of the box is protected by a polyurethane lining, the purpose of which is to take up the vibrations and the shocks. In this cavity, there is also an entire series of inflatable mattresses, which fit perfectly to the contour of the article to be protected, allowing it to move slightly, thus assuring its integrity during strong impacts. The mattresses, as can be seen from the illustrations, can adopt any desired shapes, depending on the characteristics of the work of art. In addition, there is a device inside the box which emits signals allowing monitoring of the location of the object transported. On the outside, all the elements necessary for guaranteeing fastening of the box are arranged: the four vertical walls carry slots for fitting telescopic arms, the purpose of which is to fasten the assembly to the walls of the lorry or any other element. In the lower part, it is equipped with wheels, in order to facilitate its transport, as well as suckers with springs which stick to the ground. These two devices can fold, thus facilitating the stacking of the boxes. The key-operated safety locks are flush-fitted into the wall of the box, in order to prevent them being struck. Valves for inflating the mattresses as well as the apparatus of the temperature and humidity control system are located on the outside. <IMAGE>
